KASAN probably wants to be built as a separate config and have some
subset of the tests run on it, there's a substantial overhead from it so
it'll cause issues when they get round to benchmarking and I'd not be
surprised if it ended up masking some timing issues even in the more
simple functional tests that are being run now.
